Chagrin

A Poem by Alistair (Ali)
"

..a "Rain-time Truth"..

"

 

Those cranes have earned

their sack of seed

They pulled these pencil turrets

through a sturgeon curd of feckless wet

to leave them where they lay.

 

Because of this

i sit indifferent, satchelled

in an unmade bed,

a simple- headed almanac

of beige and sable rhetoric.

 

My heritage;

an Eton mess

of trampled roman candles

left, by careless midnight masses

that come scratching at my door.

Your soul shines and you are radiant my friend. Cranes and Ali labor nobly, each in their own worthy way. I humbly sing your praises and task myself to learn from your words that soar skyward and seaward to paint masterpieces. Kudos and never stop writing!:):)

How wonderful are your words.......................♥
Do not feel distressed or inferior for within us millions of potential treasures that we can unlock and wield. I like your comparison to the cranes and how wonderful they are. The fact that you are writing from the heart and sharing with others speaks volumes.
